Comprehension Ability: I Come From the Great Emperor Family-Chapter 141 - 135: Dao Artifact, Spirit Seed, Divination!

"It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, Daoist. Have you been in secluded cultivation?"

After setting out, Su Changqing looked at Xuan Qingzi and asked with a smile.

He had always admired Xuan Qingzi.

Not to mention his level of cultivation, just his divination skills were incredibly impressive.

"Thanks to you, I’ve obtained a handy life-bound Dao artifact."

Xuan Qingzi smiled lightly, "This past month, I’ve finally completely refined it."

The Seven Stars of the Weekday, for someone skilled in divination and deduction, is an unparalleled treasure.

Although Xuan Qingzi’s cultivation hasn’t improved, his divination skills have become even more mysterious.

"Life-bound Dao artifact..."

Hearing this, Su Changqing suddenly remembered that he seemed to have one too.

He calmed his mind and looked toward the center of his consciousness.

The pure jade stone was as usual, with enigmatic golden patterns constantly shifting, intertwining, and flowing on it, as if nurturing something.

"Daoist, why hasn’t my Dao artifact changed at all? I can’t use it in the slightest?" Su Changqing asked in confusion.

"You haven’t yet opened your Fate Palace, so naturally you can’t use it."

Xuan Qingzi chuckled lightly and said, "Once you reach the peak of the Divine Body and open your Fate Palace, you can refine it with Daoist arts."

"At that time, you’ll be able to unleash some of the artifact’s power."

At this point, Xuan Qingzi suddenly thought of Su Changqing’s luxuriously terrifyingly large Creational Jade Stone.

He looked at Su Changqing, and with a serious expression, said:

"Remember, once you open your Fate Palace, apart from that... item, don’t choose anything else to be your life-bound Dao artifact."

The millstone-sized Creational Jade Stone is almost a naturally born Emperor’s Weapon.

Even if Su Changqing is the Domain Master’s offspring, he likely can’t find anything better than this.

Su Changqing nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

The Daoist had mentioned this twice, which means the jade stone he obtained must be extremely extraordinary.

"Has Senior Brother already decided on his life-bound Dao artifact?"

Wu Yong, standing to the side, asked curiously, "I wonder what type and material it is?"

The choice of a life-bound Dao artifact is extremely important for a cultivator, as it is something that will accompany them for life.

Generally speaking, if there is no suitable choice, most cultivators would rather leave it empty.

Su Changqing’s talent is so formidable, yet he has decided on his life-bound Dao artifact so early, which makes Wu Yong curious.

What divine object could catch Su Changqing’s eye?

"I’m not quite sure what it is, just a stone..."

Su Changqing was about to reply instinctively when Xuan Qingzi immediately interrupted with a light smile:

"Just a peculiar stone with decent quality, perfect for Changqing."

Su Changqing was taken aback upon hearing this, then shook his head with a smile, saying nothing further.

Wu Yong, not being a fool, immediately understood upon hearing Xuan Qingzi’s words that they didn’t want him to know.

"You, this Daoist, do you think I’d covet Senior Brother’s artifact?"

Wu Yong was instantly displeased, "I’m just worried that Senior Brother’s artifact might not be suitable, and I’d find him something better!"

As the esteemed Young Master of the Wu family, what treasures hasn’t he seen?

Could he possibly covet the treasures of his Senior Brother, who came from a humble origin?

Xuan Qingzi smiled silently at his words.

If it were an ordinary item, even if it were the Great Emperor’s divine metal, it wouldn’t be an issue given Wu Yong’s relationship with Su Changqing.

But that millstone-sized Creational Jade Stone... is just too extravagant.

Once exposed, the major forces, even the hidden families, wouldn’t be able to sit still.

"Come now, Junior Brother, the Daoist has no ill intentions."

Su Changqing smiled to reassure him, then turned to Xuan Qingzi curiously and asked, "Have you stepped into the second realm, Daoist?"

"I wonder what the differences are between the second realm and the Divine Body realm, and what should be noted when breaking through?"

Although Su Changqing hasn’t yet reached the peak of the Divine Body, he’s not far off.

He is quite eager and hopeful about the upcoming realm.

Wu Yong side-eyed Xuan Qingzi with a disgruntled expression but said nothing further.

"The second realm is called the Divine Spirit Realm and is quite different from the Divine Body realm."

Xuan Qingzi smiled lightly and said, "The most noticeable difference is that one can borrow the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and fly."

Su Changqing’s eyes lit up.

Flying—it’s the dream of almost every mortal.

"Absorb spiritual essence into the body, open the divine orifices in the meridians, combine blood energy with spiritual power, and greatly increase combat prowess."

After speaking, Xuan Qingzi advised, "The most crucial aspect of the Divine Spirit realm is to find a high-quality Spirit Seed."

"The quality of the Spirit Seed determines the purity of the spiritual power within."

"Generally, Spirit Seeds are divided into four grades: low, medium, high, and top."

Upon pausing, Xuan Qingzi raised his palm lightly, as a wisp of spiritual power swirled around his fingertip.

"If the spiritual power you nurture is low-grade, then the power of a medium-grade spiritual power will be several times yours with the same attack."

Su Changqing clicked his tongue in surprise upon hearing this.

The quality of the Spirit Seed directly relates to the strength of combat power.

It makes sense: when a Spirit Seed is absorbed into the body and nourished with blood energy, it gives birth to spiritual power.

This strand of spiritual power is essentially the source, and any future spiritual power produced will only strengthen that initial strand.

If the quality of that spiritual power is too poor, it means that a high-grade spiritual power can overpower a medium-grade one with several strikes of spiritual power.

With the same amount of spiritual power, the purer and stronger the quality of the spiritual power, the greater the power.

"Doesn’t that mean everyone would use top-grade Spirit Seeds?" Su Changqing sighed.

"Senior Brother, do you think top-grade Spirit Seeds grow like cabbages?"

Wu Yong said with a mix of amusement and helplessness, "Spirit Seeds are birthed from Heaven and Earth and are very rare."

"Not to mention top-grade Spirit Seeds; even high-grade ones are quite valuable."

"Furthermore, even if you gave an ordinary cultivator a top-grade Spirit Seed, would they dare to use it?"

Su Changqing was momentarily stunned. Xuan Qingzi, at his side, explained with a smile, "While pure spiritual power is strong in combat, it also consumes a lot of resources."

"If an ordinary cultivator acquired a top-grade Spirit Seed, they might never break through in their lifetime."

"Cultivation emphasizes fortune, companions, methods, and location, with fortune being foremost—with no wealth, don’t embark on the path of cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Su Changqing’s expression grew slightly solemn, once again realizing the harsh reality of the cultivation world.

"Don’t be so tense, Senior Brother."

Seeing Su Changqing’s seriousness, Wu Yong grinned and said, "There are many types of Spirit Seeds, including many with special attributes."

"While I can’t get my hands on a flawless one, top-grade Spirit Seeds are no problem."

For some prodigies from sacred lands, top-grade is merely the starting point, and above top-grade, there are flawless Spirit Seeds.

Flawless Spirit Seeds, which are perfectly flawless, are truly treasures of Heaven and Earth.

"No rush, let’s talk about it once I reach the peak of the Divine Body."

Su Changqing sighed once more, feeling his poverty keenly.

Though he doesn’t know the exact value of those Spirit Seeds, they’re certainly not cheap.

He hasn’t even seen a Spirit Stone, let alone has any on him.

Although Wu Yong mentioned gifting him one, the debt of gratitude is the hardest to repay.

Moreover...

Knowing that above the top-grade Spirit Seeds, there are flawless grades, who would be willing to fall behind?

Although he may be poor, his ambitions shouldn’t be short-lived.

"I’ll ask my teacher about it when the time comes."

After pondering for a moment, Su Changqing then changed the topic and looked at Xuan Qingzi with a smile:

"It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you perform divination, Daoist. How about casting a reading on whether our journey will be smooth?"

Wu Yong, standing by, also looked on curiously, as the Daoist’s divination skills were quite renowned.

"Since Changqing wants to see, there’s no reason not to."

Xuan Qingzi smiled, then formed a sword with his fingers and traced across the void, casting a mysterious and profound talisman into the air.

With a brush across his forehead, seven bright Star Coins clinked onto the talisman.

The Seven Starry Luminaries above the firmament flickered brightly, seeming to crisscross in an instant.

As the light flashed by, the seven Star Coins scattered in peculiar positions.

Xuan Qingzi initially glanced carelessly down, but his expression suddenly turned serious upon seeing it,

"An ominous presence blocks the path, fortune and misfortune coexist!"
